Neither sidemoved decisively yesterday In thegreat Industrial conflict between em *players and employes In the steeltrade , and the result Is still In the bal-. The strikers made gains atPittsburg , McKoesport , Wheeling andBcllatro in the last 24 hours , but Inthe main the advantage Is still withthe mill owners. Both sides claim tobe preparing moves that will bringconfusion to opponents , but neithereldo has shown Its band. The situation can be briefly summarized as follows : Ton men , flvo of them skilled ,quit at the lower Union mill of theCarnegie company In Plttsburg and* joined the strikers. Their defectionrepresented the first break lu the Carnegie forces of more than 1,500. Theetrlkers were Jubilant over the incident , but the company claims to havefilled tholr places nt once and therewill be no more desertions at any ofthe plants.The Bellalro plant , at which the menstruck on Sunday , was finally closed.When another start will bo made laproblematical. Several hundred boysemployed at the National Tube worksat McKoesport , went out during thenight ufid day , and their action materially aided the effort of the strikersto finally tie the plant up. The worksare going ahead short handed , but theranks of the workers are thinning andthe supply of material Is limited. Thestrikers made gains at Wheeling andthe steel officials admitted that Ben-wood would bo closed down. Clark'smill here is moving along full handed ,Lindsay & McCutcheon Is operatingwith a smal1 crew and the managersere planning to open Painter's andIncrease the force at Lindsay & Me-Cutcheon's. A break In the ranks ofthe men who struck at Painter's Is ex-poctcd , but the strlko managers denythat one will occur. Another break Isreported as possible at Newcastle ,but there are as yet no positive Inijl-cations of It. The American Tin Platecompany has a small force at the Crescent plant at Cleveland and Is alsoplanning resumption at other pointswith nonunion men. The steel corpor-ntlon has ordered that the Chartlersplant at Carnegie be dismantled andremoved to Leechburg. So far goodorder has prevailed , although the steelofficials assert that there has beenIntimidation at Wheeling , McKeesportand Plttsburg. Both sides express theirconfidence in ultimate victory and areactively carrying forward their respective campaigns. President Shaf-for of the Amalgamated associationleaves today for Wheeling , where hei is to address the strikers. The number -ber of men out as a result of the general order Is now roughly estimatednt 16,000 and on the three orders at02,000.The steel corporation held Its groundnt Chicago , Jollet , Bayvlew , Youngstown -V- - town , Columbus , the Klsklmlnetnsvalley and the Carnegie group , withthe exception of the Instance named.The strikers are considering plans forbreaking the decision of Chicago ,'Jollet ' and Bayvlew to stand with theeteel companies , but what they plan todo has not been made clear. They arecharging some of the western men.with both dishonesty and disloyaltyand there is a general desire amongmembers of the Amalgamated heretor seine form of inquiry.'ASKS CHICAGO TO RECONSIDER.1, Secretary Tlghe Calls a Joint Meeting'' of the Dissenting Unions.Chicago , Aug. 14.
